Things here are cRaZy busy right now. But I’m going to take a break to update my blog.
We’re working on planning a workshop in Brazil right now. Here is what makes it crazy:
- We’re partnering with the Government of Mato Grosso.
- Neither our role nor the role of the government has been well-defined.
- I don’t really know what I’m supposed to be doing.
- I don’t speak Portuguese very well…yet. (Mas posso escrever um pouco. – that means “But I can write a little bit.”)
- It’s in a little over 3 weeks and the registration page was just finished last week. And we expect more than 400 people to show up.
- We expect more than 400 people to show up.
- I need a visa. (Luckily living/working in DC makes that slightly easier.)
- We don’t know what’s happening after the meeting – I might be going to stay with an indigenous tribe for a few days which would be cool. Or I could be traveling Brazil on my own (a little scary). Or I might go to Rio Branco where we’re having the meeting in June. Really, I don’t know.
So I think that planning a wedding for 150 people in PV will be no problem after planning an event for 400+ people in Brazil. Right?
So far for the wedding we have:
- a website.
- an idea for dresses and tuxes.
- the rings.
- an idea for invitations.
- the list of people who will be invited.
- bubbles
- floating candles (but nothing for them to float in)
- leaf garland
- and I have my jewelry.
We still have 7 months (from tomorrow!) for everything else, though, so I think we’re in good shape. Right?
